...common sense and Christian ethics. "America is suffering from tolerance," he would proclaim, "tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, Christ and chaos." Or, "Freedom is the right to do what you ought to do." He did not hesitate to take on the likes of Darwin, Marx and Satan, not to mention Sigmund Freud. He once parodied the prayer of a modern Pharisee: "I thank thee, O Lord, that my Freudian adviser has told me that there is no such thing as guilt ... I may have an Oedipus complex, but I have no sin." After one summer vacation...

Would one say that the genocidal policies of the Marxist Pol Pot regime "follow logically" form the writings of Karl Marx? Would one say that the Aryan superiority doctrine of the Nazis "followed logically" from the Superman statements of Neitzsche? Alain de Benoist, one of the espousers of the French "New Right" belief in genetic superiority, is also violently anti--Christian; does that mean that E.O. Wilson is anti-Christian as well...
